    I have switched over to oatmeal. I was eating Special K cereal, but was starving by lunch time. I found a website called Cooking Classy, she has a couple of different oatmeal recipes that have been awesome :D

    My breakfast everyday:
    Whole wheat bread (toasted)
    2 teaspoons of peanut butter, (or however much you like to put on there, that's just what I put)
    1 banana sliced on top
    Special K granola clusters sprinked on top

    It's like dessert, but if you measure everything out, it can be low cal, and thoroughly, thoroughly, THOROUGHLY enjoyable.

    :P

    All great ideas. Thank you!

    I LOVE the oatmeal idea but my initial thought was the carbs in it. (Don't know what to do.... hummm.....)

    I do a poached egg on toast with a little bit of butter (I count it as a pat) It is under 200 calories, filling, and I think, delicious

    DO oatmeal! I have it almost everyday for breakfast, and then keep it low carb (relatively) the rest of the day...it's just a matter of getting your meals organised!
    Oatmeal has endless options, and they're all so good! Apple-cinnamon, banana-chocolate, strawberries and shredded coconut, "carrot cake"oatmeal, peanut butter-banana, cherries and almonds...yumm!!

    ive been making a smoothie for myself everyday when im at the office - been very good for me! i brought my single-serve blender (from wal-mart) and keep it in the cupboard. heres what i use:

    half a banana
    1 tbsp of PB2
    1 cup chocolate almond milk, unsweetened
    2 tbsp of vanilla protein powder
    1 cup spinach

    its about 188 calories, according to the recipe builder. and it lasts me almost the whole morning! i sometimes have an apple around 1130 or so, but i usually have a late lunch.

    My weekday breakfast is always oatmeal - I make my own instant oatmeal "packets" with brown sugar and sugar free powdered coffee creamer. I take them to work and add some unsweetened almond milk, PB2 (chocolate or regular), cinnamon, and sometimes protein powder. Microwave for 2 minutes and you've got a nice serving of delicious, filling oatmeal.

    My weekend breakfast when I eat at home is usually whole wheat pancakes with sugar free syrup. My husband doesn't like them because he says they taste too "healthy", so I make batches of them and freeze them so I don't have to cook every single weekends. Sometimes I'll make some scrambled eggs with cheese with a piece of buttered toast and turkey bacon as well. If I have to get breakfast on the run, it's almost always an egg white delight and fruit and yogurt parfait from McDonalds (400 calories).

    Other ideas: homemade blueberry oatmeal muffins, a decent cereal that's not filled with sugar that will make you hungry 10 minutes later, frozen waffles with sugar free syrup, bagel thin with cream cheese...

    I've been getting a big vegie fix in my breakfasts recently. Cook some onions up (in coconut oil), then add some chopped tomatoes and mushrooms until they start to cook. Then add in a couple of good handfuls of spinach or dandelion greens (or your choice of green). Once thats wilted I add in 2 eggs (and an extra white if I think I need it) and finish the scramble. Its a big breakfast but mostly veg. Getting a lot of greens in early is good too! It's also under 300 calories (1 teaspoon of coconut oil).
    It's also quite quick! I can get it all done in the time it takes for the kettle to boil and my tea to be ready!

    These are all such good ideas! My breakfast this morning was an english muffin, although I usually don't eat breakfast in the morning. A couple days ago I had a mushroom omelet with 2 eggs. Sometimes I'll eat breakfast food for dinner, I love it!
